Living room of the Ling household.
Bai Ranâs expression was awkward and uncomfortable as she sat across from the man whom she once called family. However, the feelings now only carried a heavy air of dislike and hostility.
âBai Ran, I came today for only one thing. Iâm sure youâve heard of Yanâer returning already?â
âYou came to me for Yan Yan?â A flicker of surprise swept across the ladyâs eye at the mentioning of that name.
Did Wen Shan finally grow a conscience and decide to treat Yan Yan well? But does he think he can erase his own mistakes after making her watch my sister die?
âIndeed, I came to find you because of that girl.â Frowning in the face, the man made a dissatisfied grunt, âSheâs been staying outside for over ten years so her temper has changed horribly. The first moment she returned, she immediately poisoned Fei Fei with some kind of pill, causing my daughter to suffer constant pain. I hope you can help me persuade that girl to hand over the antidote and change her evil ways.â
Bang!
Bai Ran slams her hands against the tea table, causing the cups to spill over and hit the ground smashing. Sheâs very angry after hearing that disgusting request.
âI thought someone like you finally grew a consciousness, but I clearly thought too higly. You expect me to help you persuade Yan Yan to help your other daughter?! Why do you think Yan Yan did that to Wen Fei Fei? It must be because that wild daughter of yours did something to provoke her!â
âBai Ran!â Wen Shan also grew irate at being called a heartless bastard. Getting up from the sofa, he glares ferociously at the former sister-in-law: âChai Moon is my wife, Fei Fei is my daughter, you better show some respect!â
Over the years, Iâve neglected Chai Moon and Fei Fei for far too long. I didnât think they would be under this much pressure.
Thinking up to here, a sense of guilt would rise from Wen Shanâs heart and make him lose control.
âChai Moon is your wife, then what about my sister?â Bai Ran doesnât back down and steps forward with a provocative sneer.
âYour sister is dead!â Looking at those contemptuous eyes, Wen Shanâs brain would instantly become a blank, thus letting his mouth slip without forethought.
It emptied him, not only because of the truth behind that outburst, but because of how hollow he felt inwardly. For more than a decade, he never once spoke of Bai Yuâs death, only because of the pain for which he partially caused due to his own cowardice.
âYouâre right,â Bai Ran also darkens in the eyes after that like some life left her soul, âmy sister is dead, but donât forget, you and that woman were already sleeping in bed together before she was even gone! You and Chai Moon made that Wen Fei Fei while still being married to my sister!â
Pack!!
Shocking to the both of them in this living room, a loud crisp sound of a slap resonated across the air. In its wake was a red fingerprint imprinted along Bai Ranâs cheek, stinging her and stunning the woman into tears.
Wen Shan actually didnât want to do that, he reacted out of reflex and rage in the heat of the moment. By the time he realizes what he has done, things were done and he could no longer undo things.
âRa... Ran, I didnât mean to, how are you?â
